Chapter 122: Exploring the Crack Realm, Supernatural Awakening

The two fell like into an abyss, and after a dizzying spin, their feet finally touched solid ground.

The scene before them left Ji Chen and Ceng Yue gasping in shock simultaneously; this was no crack, it was clearly a large-scale rave scene for supernatural space!

Colorful energy light clusters were twisting and turning like they were drunk, occasionally "pop-pop" exploding a few small sparks.

Various supernatural auras intertwined, just like an overturned palette, chaotic yet carrying a kind of eerie beauty.

A faint smell of burnt energy permeated the air, as if a grand-scale epic barbecue had just been finished.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue stood back-to-back, looking around vigilantly.

The energy here was so dense it was practically liquefying; it felt like one could level up on the spot just by taking a breath.

But the more this was the case, the less they dared to relax their vigilance; after all, behind treasures often hid even greater crises.

"Be careful, something's wrong here." Ji Chen reminded in a low voice, his right hand already condensing a mass of scorching energy, ready to fight at any moment.

Ceng Yue nodded slightly, ice-blue energy flowing around her body, forming a solid defense.

The two were like facing a great enemy, their nerves stretched like a fully drawn bowstring, ready to meet the baptism of the storm at any moment.

Suddenly, the air distorted, and countless energy phantoms emerged like ghosts.

They were varied in form, some like giant beasts baring fangs and brandishing claws, some like warriors holding sharp blades, and others like ghosts floating in the air, each emanating a heart-palpitating powerful aura, as if a group of ultimate bosses from a game had come to attack.

"Holy crap, what the hell is this?" Ji Chen swore, ten thousand alpacas galloping through his heart.

He could feel the power of these phantoms, every attack sufficient to instantly cause him serious injury.

The phantoms didn't give them any chance to breathe, surging like the tide, various colored energy attacks intertwining in the space to form an airtight net.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue dodged left and right, barely avoiding those lethal attacks, but their bodies still suffered many impacts, and the energy within them began to deplete violently.

"This can't go on!" Ceng Yue's voice was slightly hurried, the coldness on her face seemingly dissipated, replaced by a trace of anxiety.

Ji Chen took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down. He dodged attacks while his brain raced, pondering countermeasures.

Just then, a familiar phantom appeared in his line of sight, that figure...

Seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it in the depths of his memory.

Ji Chen was stunned, subconsciously stopping his attack, his eyes staring fixedly at that phantom, muttering to himself: "This..." "This... isn't this Fatty, who had his spicy strips snatched away when I was in elementary school?" Ji Chen blurted out, forgetting to dodge for a moment.

Ceng Yue flashed forward, shielding him, her ice-blue energy shield instantly expanding, "pop" blocking the energy light wave coming head-on, shaking her arm numb.

"Is now the time to reminisce about childhood? Are you serious?" Her tone was cold, but her eyes carried a trace of imperceptible worry.

Ji Chen came back to his senses, rubbing his nose awkwardly.

"Cough, cough, I couldn't help but greet an acquaintance." He said, but his heart was churning.

These phantoms were all people he had encountered in his past life, some who had bullied him, some he had helped, and those passersby who had brushed past him.

They now transformed into energy phantoms, attacking him with all kinds of emotions, making him feel an inexplicable suffocation.

The surrounding energy fluctuations grew more intense, as if responding to Ji Chen's inner chaos, the space beginning to distort, emitting a "buzzing" electric current sound.

A scorched smell permeated the air, very much like the dark cuisine his mom made when he failed an exam.

"Calm down! Ji Chen, calm down!" He shouted to himself in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt a warm current surge from his dantian, flowing through his entire body, like a hot cocoa in winter, dispelling the haze in his heart.

The energy within him began to run crazily, like a giant black hole, greedily absorbing the surrounding supernatural energy.

A circle of dazzling light spread outward with Ji Chen as the center, illuminating the entire space. Under the illumination of the light, those originally baring fangs and brandishing claws phantoms slowed down, their attacks losing their accuracy.

Ji Chen felt his body filled with power, as if he had endless energy.

"This feeling... is simply awesome!" He hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.

Ceng Yue looked at everything happening before her, "You..." She just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Ji Chen.

"Next, it's our turn to counterattack!" Ji Chen's eyes flickered with light, and he clenched his fists.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue were like two awakened beasts, launching a swift counterattack against the phantoms.

Ji Chen's scorching energy mass shot out like a cannonball, and Ceng Yue's ice-blue energy also turned into sharp ice blades.

Energy and phantoms collided, a "boom" loud noise, intense energy fluctuations spreading like a tsunami in all directions.

Ji Chen could clearly hear the sharp whistling sound when energy collided; that sound seemed to want to pierce his eardrums, his eyes almost unable to open from the dazzling light, only seeing a brilliant and chaotic light and shadow before him.

Every attack required precise judgment; the slightest carelessness could lead to being hit by a phantom.

The space beside him was distorted like a twist by the energy impact, they seemed to be in a world that could collapse at any moment, the tension of the battle climbing to the peak.

Suddenly, a powerful phantom attack rushed straight toward Ceng Yue.

Ji Chen didn't even think, rushing forward in one step, using his body to take this blow head-on.

Intense pain spread through his entire body, he felt as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed truck, his internal organs shifted.

Ceng Yue called his name painfully, her eyes filled with love and worship. At this moment, a trace of warmth permeated the tense battle atmosphere.

Ji Chen gritted his teeth, enduring the pain and exerting force again.

His body seemed to have infinite power, like a god of war possessed, successfully dispelling most of the phantoms.

But before they could catch their breath, they discovered a huge energy source in the center of this space.

That energy source emanated a cold and mysterious light; just looking at it from afar, an invisible sense of oppression surged toward them like the tide.

Ji Chen and Ceng Yue looked at each other, then walked slowly toward that huge energy source, every step taken as if carrying a thousand-jin weight. ===== CHAPTER 123 =====
